Office furniture

Nov. 17th, 2005|08:44 am: There’s nothing more spiritually enlightening than putting together new office furniture. Or any furniture for that matter. I think buying and shopping for office supplies comes in at a close 2nd. But nothing compares to the thrill of putting together cheap pressboard furniture, which I’ve been doing somewhat regularly since about age 16 when I bought my first entertainment center at Wal-Mart.

Yesterday I officially moved into my new house. I went to the thift store in hopes of finding a dining room table, but the one they had was in horrible shape so I passed on that. I got 6 Coca-cola glasses though. I went by Staples for a desk but they didn’t have the one I wanted. So I went back to Staples in the evening and got a different desk. Also went to Target just to pick up a few kitchen items (dish soap, garbage can, milk, etc). Spent about an hour putting the desk together. After I moved all my stuff onto the desk, I called this lady in Corvallis that had a file cabinet in the paper a few days ago to see if she still had it. She did, so I drove there and picked it up. It was only $30 – they usually go for at least $100 in the store. Anyway, here’s my new office…
